Sea of Tranquility

Burning my effigy burying my remains of mortal doubt in this sea of tranquility as days come in days go out, life cycles on morning rise evening sets like passages of the tide marking the turns of this sphere Sitting here, floating there trying to push away the tangled fear trying to decipher the shadowed past making the rhythm of the chaos drowned out so long ago not knowing how long the terror will last... draining fast as the night unfolds, the day closes... riding the waves of dreams trying to find a way out of this the sea of tranquility

Thanks for your kind word, I’m fine. We’re all fine. This was a poem from my younger days, when I was much more gloomy. LOL If you feel this should cause you to be concerned of my mental state, then your prolly should not read my other poems. But, I’m fine, I just celebrate the light and dark in all, in my works. My writings I have posted are a mixture of old poems and new. I have 3 volumes of work. What is posted here is a small fraction. Most of this work is older and more darker, in a time of great depths and depression. But I fine now we are all fine now. Jk lol Thanks again.
